ISFL Season 28 draft my favorite name(s) team
Here I am for some of that good 1.5x draft media, Gonna put together a team of my favorite S28 draftee names and a couple of reasons why I like them!
Disclaimer: Anything and everything I say in this article is purely for humor purposes, Please do not take offense to anything that I say in regards to your player name as I am doing so in jest and what I say is no reflection of how I feel of you as a user or a player. Laugh at me, Laugh with me.
OFFENSE:
Quarterback: Troy Abed
Round 1 Pick #9 Berlin Fire Salamanders
DSFL Team: Kansas City Coyotes
Relevant Stats
Rushing Attempts: 16
Rushing Yards: 17
Passes Completed: 246
Passing Attempts: 480
Yards: 3130
Percentage: 51.2
Touchdowns: 19
Interceptions: 8
QB Rating: 78.2
Why:
As a fan of community and Donald Glover in general this pick was a no brainer for me.
The best characters in community were absolutely Troy and Abed and all I picture for this is them sewed together playing QB for the Fire Salamanders.

RunningBack 1: Busch Goose
Round 1 Pick #2 Baltimore Hawks
DSFL Team: Kansas City Coyotes
Relevant Stats
Rushing Attempts: 139
Rushing Yards: 594
Rushing Average: 4.3
Rushing Touchdowns: 6
Receptions: 22
Receiving Yards: 295
Receiving Touchdowns: 0
Why:
My first favorite name on the Running backs list was definitely this one.
I'm just picturing a goose in a flannel bomber hat slamming cheap ass beer and then slamming his way through opponents defenses.
Must be an aggressive style runner because geese are total assholes, combine that with cheap beer and you have yourself police in the walmart parking lot at 4pm on a sunday.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RunningBack 2: Brondon Prince (Misspelled in the wiki, I'm leaving it because its hilarious)
Round 5 Pick #60 New York Silverbacks
DSFL Team: Bondi Beach Buccaneers
Relevant Stats
Rushing Attempts: 135
Rushing Yards: 546
Rushing Average: 4
Rushing Touchdowns: 5
Receptions: 5
Receiving Yards: 41
Receiving Touchdowns: 1
Why:
I initially picked him because I thought Brondon was hilarious, however this was due to a misspelling in the wiki and me apparently not being a very attentive teammate since the Draft.
I have chosen to leave it because I still laugh everytime I say Brondon. If you have a friend named Brandon or Brendon start calling them Brondon for a bit cause it will make you happy and probably irritate them to no end.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wide Receiver 1: Chunt The Badger
Round 1 Pick #14 Baltimore Hawks
DSFL Team: Dallas Birddogs
Relevant Stats
Receptions: 111
Yards: 1405
Average: 12.7
Touchdowns: 10
Why:
I am a fan of Hello From the Magic Tavern, if you have not listened to it and you like fantasy and comedy podcasts then its definitely for you.
I should probably name my next created character Usidore and his many names but I digress.
ARNIE NIEKAMP
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wide Receiver 2: Sam The Onion Man
Round 2 Pick #23 Orange County Otters
DSFL Team: Norfolk Seawolves
Relevant Stats
Receptions: 12
Yards: 572
Average: 12.7
Touchdowns: 1
Why:
Sometimes keeping it simple is the best strategy. His name is Sam and his association with Onions is important enough to include it in his name.
Does he just like onions? Does he sell them?
Is this dude sitting in the corner shoveling raw onions into his face in the locker room in his offtime?
Does he recommend onions as a remedy for everything?
It may be explained somewhere but that's not the point of these articles.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Offensive Line 1: Stumpy Jones
Round 2 Pick #18 Sarasota Sailfish
DSFL Team: Portland Pythons
Relevant Stats
Pancakes: 67
Sacks Allowed: 1
Why:
Just what a great fucking name for a lineman.
"Oh that big fucker over there? That's Stumpy, he gonna eat you for lunch"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Offensive Line 2: Bjorn Borg
Round 5 Pick #61 Berlin Fire Salamanders
DSFL Team: Kansas City Coyotes
Relevant Stats
Pancakes: 38
Sacks Allowed: 3
Why:
Bjorn Borg seems like he came over from Iceland to steal your women and stop your Defensive ends. He trains by lifting large boulders and having romps with Killer whales in the ocean.
I heard his mother was a Jotun and his father was a robot.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tight End 1: Bender Rodriguez
Round 2 Pick #17 Orange County Otters
DSFL Team: Minnesota Grey Ducks
Relevant Stats
Receptions: 15
Yards: 97
Average: 6.5
Touchdowns: 0
Pancakes: 9
Sacks Allowed: 0
Why:
My first of two picks based purely on my love for Futurama, If he's not asking you to bite his shiny metal ass in the middle of a game something is horribly wrong.
Just make sure not to suggest antiquing with him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tight End 2: Makoa Mahi'ai
Round 2 Pick #21 Baltimore Hawks
DSFL Team: London Royals
Relevant Stats
Receptions: 42
Yards: 282
Average: 6.7
Touchdowns: 3
Pancakes: 19
Sacks Allowed: 0
Why:
I love Polynesian / Hawaiian sounding names, forgive me if my origins are off here but I believe that's the correct region.
Although this pick here was mostly driven by the fact that there were only two tight ends drafted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kicker / Punter: Dallas Dole

DSFL Team: Dallas Birddogs

Why:
If this isn't a kicker/punter name then I will eat a football.
Dallas Dole was born to kick that Football. Probably born on a farm and loves Budweiser, drives a ford and hates commies.

Chuggs is just such a kick ass name for any kind of defensive player.
